Zarco's Pocket Nines Hold Strong
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Javier Zarco opened the action from middle position with a raise to 2,500, which prompted a three-bet from Hannes Jeschka to 7,500. After the action folded back to him, Zarco made the call.
The 6♦5♠J♥ flop saw Zarco check, and Jeschka followed up with a bet of 4,500, which Zarco called.
Both players checked the 3♠ turn and the J♦ river, leading to a showdown.
Zarco revealed 9♠9♦, which was strong enough to force Jeschka to muck his cards.
